The top 10 hits the NBA about 90% of the time
#11-30 are closer to 50%
Once you get past #50, it's in the 10-15% range

Someone posted actual numbers years ago. It’s not as high as 90 and 50. But I remember that 30-50 isn’t much different than 50-75.

Something a lot of people don't get.

There's no guarantee that a player will live up to their ranking.   A lot of things can negatively impact a kids development. Being over ranked, injuries, personal issues, inability to handle the level of competition, and yes, even coaching can affect the players success in reaching their expected potential. Singling out a coach as the only possible reason for a kid not meeting expectations is arbitrary, and suggests a bias.

Obviously have not been looking at the "DWade clone" like video's.....

They could be brothers .....Got the same Euro.....Got "over/under" dribble.....Got the same "extreme 10 foot crossover"....The hops.....Does he have the "natural BB IQ" is the question......But from the video's.....WOW.....just.....WOW.....

I mean on that same note though, a guy like Scottie Reynolds never stepped foot on an NBA floor but was an unbelievable college player, while Dwight Buycks was better in the NBA than he was at Marquette.

NBA pedigree doesn’t always directly correlate to a great college player.

Doesn’t surprise me, but I was thinking more around very good college player....most of the top 30 are, even if they don’t make NBA.  People start throwing around top 100 like Ners does, and a bunch of them are in the 70’s, 80’s  and 90’s....doesn’t mean nearly as much to me...as you point out.

Someone posted actual numbers years ago. It’s not as high as 90 and 50. But I remember that 30-50 isn’t much different than 50-75.

A year or so ago I listed the top 100 rankings (for 15 years) and how many were drafted in the first round of the NBA, and how many had played, I think around 200 games in the league.

The top 10 recruits ended up being drafted, and played in  the league at something close to 95+%.
#10-20 was close to 50%.  #21-30 wasn't far behind that.   imo, that's a huge increase in chances of a bust.
Once you got into the #50-60 range to #90-100 It was fairly close.  If I remember the 50-60 were around 14%, and 90-100 were around 12%.
The #90-100 turned out some very solid college players, some which turned into great pros.  Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook, Gilbert Arenas, Denzell Valentine, Emeka Okafor, Greives Vasquez, DaSean Butler, Frank Mason

Oso on the Ocho.

Some recent Oso holiday tourney highlights. His high school team is #1 AZ 6A. (MU 2021 target DaRon Holmes' team is #1 AZ 5A.)

I wish I had made the trek up for this one.  Sounds like it was a great game.  SC came out on top, but it was low scoring 54-50.  Hunter and Antetokounmpo each had 11.

Chances are these two schools will meet deep in the Division 3 playoffs.  Ranked 1 and 2 in the state.

Very roughly speaking, we have to wait and see but for now, in my opinion, Oso is more of 3 that will also play 4 at the college level and Lewis is more of a 4 that will play some 3 as needed. Often times at the high school level these types of players are needed more at the 4. Having more versatility and switchables is a good thing to have. Garcia, again, can play multiple positions in multiple ways.

Currently, Bailey for example can move around, guard some guards at times, play different ways.

I was at the game, it was definitely worth watching.  Very competitive.  Liked Nick Bennett's coaching vs. Don Gosz, St. Cates was more of a team.  Wojo was right
behind me watching, not sure about Hunter yet.  Quickness and jumping ability are there.  Shot is a little slow getting off, no jump shot.  Controls the ball, can pass.
being a Wisconsin kid I would offer him a scholarship as MU needs some Wisconsin kids.  I do not go to many high school games so I would have to see him in the AAU circuit to see how he does there.  Torrence will be the point in the future, so 3 years down the road he might be very good.

We have Akanno red shirting to backup Torrence and are recruiting higher rated kids already. And MU doesn't "need" a Wisconsin kid. It may help to build inroads with state coaches again but It's not worth recruiting someone just so we have one

Akanno is more of a 2-3 than a 1. Don’t think the plan is to have him as a backup PG.

He has potential, and I disagree with you, yes, you should have some Wisconsin kids on the team.  Right now MU has lots of scholarships to offer. and I have heard he
wants to come to MU, always good to get a kid early in next years class. why not.

What is the reasoning that we should have some Wisconsin kids on the roster? Reasons that translate to court success not "because MU is in WI"
